8 x 8 gift bag and matching card

I recently purchased an 8 x 8 Hunkydory pad with beautiful traditional Father Christmas scenes.
With four of each image I immediately wanted to make a bag with a matching card.

Because the papers were 8 x 8 it meant adding in sides and base separately, something I've not done before with a gift bag but it turned out pretty cool. I attached ribbon handles to the bag with some brads. I picked these star brads up in my local pound shop last year. I must see if I can get some more.

For the card I chose to go 5 x 7 and matted with gold mirror card. I then simply die cut three Hs and three O's and HO, HO, HO what have we here then? 😄

I chose a different image of a smiling Santa for the insert and whilst I've not taken a photo of the envelope I decorated the reverse with another image.

I do hope you like them. I have another idea for this gorgeous pad next. Thanks for stopping by and do come again.
